- Abstract
-
Newly hatched wood frog (Rana sylvatica) tadpoles were treated with sublethal concentrations of the commonly used herbicide atrazine. Tadpoles remained in dilutions of 75 ug/L and 250 ug/L for 10 d after which measurement of total length, torso length, and weight were measured. Significant differences were found in the torso length and overall length with the control organisms being smaller than those in the treatments. No conclusions can be drawn from these data without further research.
